Light Volley

Light Volley has been designed to introduce modified equipment and delivery to enable participation and engagement for all.
The Light Volley product is an incredibly simple but powerful solution to addressing barriers inherent in sport participation through the simple yet effective modification of a ball making it slightly bigger, softer and lighter, with an innovative approach to delivery and equipment.
In partnership with Victoria University, we will work together to provide effective educational practices and evaluation processes to enhance the learnings and outcomes of Light Volley.
The Light Volley program emphasizes the benefits of universal design with flexible and modified delivery enabling participants of all ages.
The Light Volley Philosophy of Fun, Adaptable and Relatable is based on access and inclusion for all participants.
The program is easily and safely modified, boasting interchangeable variable delivery models including multi-surface delivery, attractive to participants of all ages, female-friendly, welcoming and inclusive.
The education modules aim to challenge how facilitators deliver a physical activity session and provide the knowledge and skills for facilitators and participants to become the best they can be. We believe that as facilitators, we should constantly be prepared to learn and grow. We hope these modules add to your skills and knowledge to deliver engaging and inclusive Light Volley programs.
Light Volley is a concept that uses Volleyball skills and gameplay to engage and excite participants about being physically active in a safe and inclusive environment. Light Volley uses modified equipment and gameplay combined with facilitators who are prepared and able to create exciting and interesting physical activity sessions with a flavour of Volleyball. Alongside this, Light Volley facilitators will encourage participants’ understanding of the importance of being physically active, the link between physical activity and mental health and the importance of nutrition to a healthy lifestyle.
Although Light Volley has been designed with a set of rules to enable the most participation, the Light Volley Philosophy empowers all facilitators and participants alike to change and modify to suit the needs of your group.
We suggest rules and changes from allowing a bounce to allowing a catch, the whole idea is for everyone to have fun.
The Light Volley modules have been designed for anyone wishing to be a Light Volley facilitator. You may be a seasoned volleyball coach or someone who has never played the game.
The newest modified game of volleyball centered around social play. It will have equipment that suits the participant because no matter who you are you will be able to get the ball over the net.
WHY – Because the ball is bigger, lighter and floats through the air, the court set-up is designed for modified games with an interchangeable freestanding net.
Light Volley Move is a group activity where you can learn how to play modified volleyball with friends in a social, fun and interactive environment. light Volley Move will provide a fun alternative to doing exercise on your own, pairing physical activity with volleyball related skills and games that will get you moving, active and meeting new people.
